Vishwakarma Puja: Celebrating the God of Architecture

If it were not for art and architecture, you would not have been able to revel in the beauty of some of the brilliant art and construction pieces. When you look at some of excellent civilizations, and mythological wonders that have been given to you through generations, you will realize that if art and architecture were not created, the world would indeed be a dull place to live in. We have the Lord of architecture, Lord Vishwakarma to thank for all the wonders that surround us, from past to present. As per the Hindu mythology books, he is the creator of all the systems of the world and therefore craftsman, mason, blacksmith and carpenters who are associated with creation of new items worship him.
